9-year-old Utah driver, her younger sister were headed to the beach when they crashed (nbcnews.com)

No one was injured Wednesday when the 9-year-old driver crashed on her way to "swim in the ocean."

A 9-year-old Utah girl who told police she wanted to swim in the ocean swiped the keys to her parents' car and took off before crashing into a tractor-trailer Wednesday morning.

No one was injured in the crash in West Valley City, police said. The girl and her 4-year-old sister were the only ones in the vehicle, driven by the older girl.

"She's driving?" a responding officer asked another who attended to the children, according to video released by the police department...

Well, it's good have initiative, a goal, a plan, and a partner for your road trip!

I think this pair should keep planning for another 10 years or so....

Well, Utah isn't too far from the coast after all, only a couple of thousand miles.....

About twelve hours driving, Salt Lake City to the coast:

Google Maps

Yeah, another decade for prep, I think.

How in the world did she see over the dashboard to even make it 10 miles?! Amazing little minds... so glad no one was injured.

This kid has initiative.

Honestly probably drove better than people high or drunk.

Very glad nobody was hurt.

So wanna get to the ocean I'd have paid to ride with Mini Thelma and Mini Louise.

Chica that sooooo is us.

My biggest laugh in the past six months.

We may have shrunk, but my jawn's on straight. Your tracks or lid looks great.

My apologies to anyone offended, but this is funny. People could have been hurt. They were not.

Take it up @Filly in ummmmm Utah or the Jersey shore. Nope, uhuh, never heard of a person @Laughing.

They were aged only 9 and 4 years old, BUT they told police they were wearing their seat belts. Amazing no-one was injured.
